I was doing some research into the Raspberry Pi a while ago and I happened to come across a neat little enclosure for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4) called the uConsole.
The CM4 is essentially a normal Raspberry Pi 4, but it comes without the normal USB/HDMI interfaces that the Pi 4 comes with. This means that in order to use the CM4 you need to plug it into a separate PCB, which then provides the interfaces needed to attach monitors and peripherals.
This is where the ClockworkPi uConsole comes in. The uConsole (or micro console) is an enclosure for the CM4 that features a built in screen and keyboard, a track ball, small speakers, a battery pack, and an optional mobile network card.
